Think about the questions below. Share your answers with your classmates.
1 Why do you think many people like to keep pets?
2 What animal would you like to have as a pet? Why?
3 What things should you think about before getting a pet?
Many people like to keep pets because pets bring joy to people’s lives. Pets make people feel loved and cared for, and pets help reduce stress.
I would like to have a dog as a pet because dogs are loyal and friendly. Dogs love to play and spend time with their owners. Dogs also help keep people active and healthy by encouraging them to go on walks and exercise.
Before getting a pet, I should think about my lifestyle, the budget and the time I can spend caring for it.
